But F. excorticata fruits are juicy and sweet. They have a mild flavour, a bit like blueberries I think, and they&#39;re pretty nice with ice cream. Māori call the plant kōtukutuku, and give the fruits a name of their own, kōnini, which indicates their importance.Phil Garnock-Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05010415287478039865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508998463866407663.post-62941849517213555622012-05-21T23:29:58.682-07:002012-05-21T23:29:58.682-07:00are they edible for humansare they edible for humanskateemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483437177493083485noreply@blogger.com
